the Next Meeting of the Council—Want a
Chance to Bid on the Paving—Ordinance now
Allows Only the Warren Company to Bid.
TO CET AN OPINION.
Matter was Laid Over and in the Meantime
the City Attorney Will be Asked to 6lve
an Opinion as to the Right of Council
to Change the Material to be Used—De
cision will be Important O.ie.
Rector street paving took np a
greater part-of the time of tiro Board
of Aldermen at their meeting last
night. Nearly all the aldermen had
something to say on the matter and
the floor was granted the citizens who
were present and Samuel G. Garret
son and Fred A. Seaman spoke. The
matter was finally laid over until the
next moeting. In tho meantime an
opinion will be asked from the City
Attorney as to the council’s right to
change a style of pavement after a
majority of the property owners had
petitioned for a certain kind.
Rector stieot figured all through
tho meeting. At tho beginning a
petition was road asking for competi
tion in the bidding. This was signed
by W. F. VanPelt and twelve others.
Later a communication from the Bar
ber Asphalt Company through their
agent, H. M. Marsh, was read asking
for an opportunity to bid on the
Rector street pavement, claiming that
they conld put down a similar mater
ial if tho people wanted it. It ended
bv referring to it being a local plant
with a pay roll running into thousands
or aouars.
The discussion took place after
Alderman Toft, chairman of the Street
Committee, had moved'that the ordi
nance to pave Rector street with the
Warren pavement, he taaen up on
second reading. Alderman Runyon
called attention to the presence of
several citizens and on his motion the
privilege of the floor was extended to
them. Mr. Garretson was the first to
speak. He said with all due respect
to the various committees that had
gone to different places to investigate
the Warren pavement, he did not
think they knew enough about it to
speak anthoritively. He declnred that
it was a new thing, having been in
use but threo years at the longest and
this was not timo enough to test a
pavement. Mr. Garretson asked for
competition and wanted the Barber
people to have a chance.
Mr. Seaman followed Mr. Garret
son. He said the men at the head of
the Warren company were the ones
who founded the asphalt company and
they left asphalt with the determina
tion to get a still better pavement.
He called attention to the residents of
Rector street who visited different
cities at their own expense and how

President Pierce, in an opening
address, briefly outlined the purposes
and intentions of the Forum. Two

is the number of its members.

Monseigle, Ernest Hancock, Chester

from List and One New Member Elect
ed — The Plans for New Building

Fire matters plaved an important
part in the ooudciI proceedings last

ing was the attempt of Alaerman
Campbell, chairman of tiie Fire Com
mittee, to adopt the plans for the fire
houses which were submitted to the
board some time ago. Mr. Campbell
thought they should be ndopted and
the work gotten under way.
When the motion was open for dis
cussion Alderman-at-Large Eckert
asked that the matter be laid over
until the next meeting, he was not
sufficiently acquainted with the plans
to vote upon them. This was agreed
to.
Upon the recommendation of the
Committee on Fire the council decid
ed to advertise for bids for 500 feet ol
liose for McClellan Hose Company,
bids to be opened Monday, Decembei
7. This is in accord with the recom
mendations of Chief Comings.
McClellan Hose notified the alder
men that the names of John McGram
and Dennis Welsh had been strk'kei
from their list for non-payment o
dues.
Protection Hook and Ladder com
pauy have elected Daniel J. M. Bach
man as active member.
Washington Hose notified the boart
